Intro: Am Dm F Am Dm F Am

Verse 1:
(Am) What’s the matter?
(Dm) What’s the matter now?
(F) They’ve got money for (Am) war
(Am) What’s the matter?
(Dm) It’s so tragic now
(F) That they can’t feed the (Am) poor

Verse 2:
(Am) What’s the matter?
(Dm) It’s what they’re doing now
(F) We’re all working for the (Am) rich
(Am) What’s the matter?
(Dm) They’ve made it so now
(F) That we can’t even (Am) bitch

Chorus:
(G) Our lives are not our own no (Am) more
(G) Stacked so we don’t know what’s the (Am) score

Verse 3:
(Am) What’s the matter?
(Dm) You feeling lucky now
(F) Looking for your big (Am) chance
(Am) What’s the matter?
(Dm) Need to know now
(F) To their tune you will (Am) dance

Verse 4:
(Am) What’s the matter?
(Dm) Do they care now?
(F) You can bet that they (Am) don’t
(Am) What’s the matter?
(Dm) Can you win now?
(F) They sure will but you (Am) won’t

Chorus:
(G) Our lives are not our own no (Am) more
(G) Stacked so we don’t know what’s the (Am) score

Break: Two verses

Chorus:
(G) Our lives are not our own no (Am) more
(G) Stacked so we don’t know what’s the (Am) score

Bridge:
(Em) You really have to wonder (Am) why
(Em) That all that you ever do is (Am) try
(Dm) It makes you want to sit and (Am) cry
(Dm) All that’s left for you to do is
(G) Die die die die die

Verse 5:
(Am) What’s the matter?
(Dm) All their spending now?
(F) Are for things we don’t (Am) need
(Am) What’s the matter?
(Dm) Feeling useless now
(F) Hungry mouths we can’t (Am) feed

Verse 6:
(Am) What’s the matter?
(Dm) Are they happy now
(F) No value is your (Am) worth
(Am) What’s the matter?
(Dm) They’re rejoicing now
(F) Cos you’re dead in the (Am) earth

(Am) Now that you’re dead and buried deep inside of Mother Earth (G-Am)
